Cygames has continued its impressive post-launch support for Granblue Fantasy: Relink with the release of Update v1.2.1 (incl. DLC) . While the version number might suggest a minor hotfix, this patch is anything but small. Building on the massive “The Final Vision” update (v1.2.0), version 1.2.1 polishes the experience, introduces new paid cosmetic DLC, adjusts character balancing for the Lucilius raid meta, and squashes several lingering bugs.
Below, we break down everything included in this update, from the mandatory download size to the nitty-gritty of sigil changes.
1. New Playable Character (Free DLC)
Note: In some regional releases, these characters were bundled with v1.2.1 as free updates; others received them slightly earlier in v1.2.0.
2. New Endgame Quest: “Zero”
3. Gameplay Adjustments & QoL

A new solo-only challenge mission has been added for players who have cleared Lucilius on Proud. This is a gauntlet fight against Three Fell Dragons (Vulkan, Nahlegar, and Windwyrm) with amplified HP pools. Rewards include the new War Elemental+ sigil (improved version of the rare drop).

For newcomers, the included DLC packs provide a smoother entry into the game’s grind-heavy systems.
